Bones had fallen back like ordered and Rin had been with the initial retreat and had been given the chance to focus for a good few minutes. As the droids began to have to filter in closer she gave a force push sending them flying back into one another creating a very small chain of dominos. Bones retracted his bodily weapons back into his skin and crossed his arms waiting. There wasn't much he could do through drake's barrier.

The door was sealed and locked. The power in the Cantina had gone out sometime during the stampede. Ötzi wouldn't have been suprised if the whole street was out of power. Only the glow of the lightsabers and the flare of the force shield illuminated the building. Ötzi powered off his lightsaber looked at his new companions. |

(Dino Flight, Tatooine, 3,000 Feet up)
"Shard, this is Dino Flight Actual. My element is within weapons range of your area of engagement. Request you mark your position to avoid possible friendly fire." Said the leader of Dino Flight. His CHF-18B was now zooming over the city of Mos Eisley, the sonic boom rattling the inside of the Cantina.
He had armed his weapons just before he commenced the flyby and had 6 concussion missiles ready to go should the ground team need them. Everyone in Dino flight was similarly armed. They could level a significant part of the town with their weapons should it come to that.

(Shard, Tatooine, Mos Eisley Cantina)
"Dino Flight Leader reports that he is on station and requests we somehow mark the building we're in so he knows which building to not blow up." Shard said.
He looked around the cantina for something they could use. He hadn't expected the situation to turn into this so he neglected to bring any flares or beacons. "Would anyone happen to have a Class Three visual identification flare?"

Drake relaxed letting down the barrier since the big robot said that the structure seemed sound enough to hold up without collasping."Thats good" he said walking over to the bar and leaning over it he reached behind it and grabbed a bottle then took a long swig of it before tossing it aside, he looked at Moonfire afterwards "Not a word of this to Kai" he said letting out a long sigh, this had been a long few days he was entitled to a small drink, especially after being attacked by a would be sith and killer droids who was after his would be daughter from another dimension or the futre or whatever the hell her story would be.
Drake didn't have any flares but he reached behind the bar again and tossed Shard a glass bottle "190 proof, 95 percent alcohol, light that and it'll go up in a blaze" he told him suggesting he use that as a flare. Drake went over to the whole in the wall seeing the droids, he held his hand out and the head of one of the downed droids came over to him he cuaght it "We can use this to get information, assuming it didn't fry its own harddrive when it was knocked offline" Drake stated.

Shard accepted the bottle and looked at it's label. He wasn't sure lighting the roof of the building on fire was such a good idea but he'd been given an order. He nodded once and climbed up on the bar. His hand transforemed and the sound of his sonic cannon going off filled the cantina as he blasted a whole in the ceiling. He ignited his lightsaber and used the blade to cut the top of the bottle off. He stuffed a bit of cloth he ripped from some decoration hanging over the bar into the bottle and used his lightsaber again to light the cloth on fire.
He thrust the bottle through the hole in the ceiling and crushed it against the top of the roof. The liquid spilled out all over and ignited brilliently in a flash of fire and smoke.
Shard ducked back down and climbed off the bar. He sent a signal to the fighters saying that their building was the one with the pool of fire on the roof.
When that was finished he grabbed the droid head he'd collected earlier and plopped it down on the bar. His hand came out with some various tools extended and he began working on opening up the skull casing and getting into the droid brains within.
* * *
Dino Lead got the signal from Shard and relayed it to everyone else in the group. The Elemet behind them was the first within attack range so he let them pick their first angle of attack.
Two CHF-18's swooped in low over Mos Eisley. The lead fighter dropped two missiles. One of the missiles flew into a two story structure across the street from the cantina and the second struck the courtyard beyond causing huge damage. The trailing fighter's laser cannons fired in sequence, spraying the ground with laser fire.
As their pass was complete they circled around to get set up in their orbital pattern again. meanwhile, Element 3 moved in for an attack run of their own...

The bombing run by the ships overhead shook the entire cantina, sending huge rifts and cracks through the buildings ceiling. Dust trickled down onto the trapped companions. Ötzi donned his hood and clipped his lightsaber onto his belt.
At this rate their firing skills will kill us long before the droids. |

ooc: sorry for my lack of posting Time to get back at it, though.
Rindel slowly peeked around a corner, a ways down the street. She had kept out of sight after breaking off from the group,
As she watched, the droids pile into the bar, one flew out of the door. Moments later, a fire started above, and a handful of fighters soared over the bar, on a bombing run. She quickly cut back around the corner, and broke into a sprint away from the path the ships were moving along. She was away by the time the ships missile hit, and the laser fire plastered the area she had been standing earlier.

Drake looked up when Shard threw the bottle on the roof and set it on fire "Thats, not exactly what I meant..." he sighed since the building was now officially on fire as they were inside trying to survive a bombardment and a shit ton of killer droids. Drake ran over to the hole to see what was happening, most of the droids were down and the rest seemed to be retreating. Drake let out a long drawn out sigh of relief "They're retreating" he said to Shard "You can call off your squad now, I think we need to get out of here before all the people that need to breath dies of smoke inhalation" he said as he waited for Shard to make the call so they could make their exit.

Shard tilted his head to the side for a second as he communicated the orders to Dino Flight. "Dino Flight acknoledges the order and suggests a courtyard .213 Kilometers to the south for a shuttle pickup. He says there is plenty of cover and smoke from their attacks may provide visual cover for our escape."

Once the droid relayed the rondezous point to the rest of the Jedi, Ötzi began walking before the droid finished his sentence. Stepping through the hole in the wall, he unclipped his lightsaber and held it tightly in his hand for good measure. The cloaked figure peered out from under his hood towards the south, where the slightest shimmer could be seen on the horizon. It had to be the ship. Ötzi ducked into a back alley and worked his way towards the shuttle. |

Bones held cloth up to his mouth as the smoke from the fire began to get heavier and heavier within the building. "I'd rather not end up a crispy critter, so we'd better move while the gettin' is good." said bones taking the suggested route outwards. He threw up the old Jedi robe hood over his head to hopefully conceal his identity if any of the droids should be scanning. Rin followed closely behind looking back towards the building once to see the smoke rising from the building. It was almost like a signal flare in the middle of a war zone going off. Either way she was sure the hutts in mos Eisly probably wouldn't be happy with the droids making a mess of their town. Maybe if they could get out of town quick enough the Hutts and the droids could go at it.

Moonfire watched patiently at the sky as the chaos about the cantina continued. Where the hell was Jon? How long did it take to launch a damn Dragoon? Things were on fire, droids were still going nuts and Jon figured he'd take his time. How... great.
Finally with a light woosh and a spattering of rubble the now on fire roof blasted apart, part of the Dragoon sticking out into the cantina.
"Theres our ride guys, we better get going!" Moonfire shouted, extending a hand to the wounded Rain before climbing aboard.

Drake had his arms crossed over his chest as he waited "Come on, come on!" he yelled waiting for the Dragoon, patience was not his best virtue at all. Drake covered his head from the debris caused by the Dragoon crashing in "Took ya long enough" Drake said as he ran over to the thing. "Everyone on now!" he ordered his Jedi. After making sure everyone was on Drake climbed on too and the Dragoon took off heading towards the Hellion which was still orbiting the planet.
"Captain, send some coordinates of the Jedi Temple to our friends who were gratious enough to help us out" Drake ordered as the Dragoon started to land on the Hellion. The captain followed through with the orders having his men send the information to the Command Center. "Any other orders sir?" he asked Drake.
Drake looked up as he climbed off the dragoon "Yeah get us the hell outta here please" he said. The Hellion started to move away from its orbit of the planet and made its jump towards Ilum.
<EXIT OOC: Hope no one minds I exited the Jedi to the Temple, if you planned on coming with us you can either say you got a ride with us or, you riding with Mik, up to you>

Shard Continued providing covering fire. A blaster bolt struck him in the face causing one of his photoceptors to go dark but he made sure the Dragoon was clear. As the shuttle lifted off the ground, Shard lifted up his right arm and two more mini concussion missiles launched into a nearby shop, exploding within and gutting the structure. The 3 or 4 droids that were within did not survive.
Master Zordon. The Jedi are away i am returning to the Command Center. He said mentally to his friend and mentor.
The pilots on the Command Center broke their orbiting pattern around the city and started their slow ascent into orbit. The copilot looked down at his sensors and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "We've got incoming fighters. Two droid Tri-fighters are coming in. One's coming after us, the other one is headed for the dragoon."
Zordon quickly focused on Shard. My friend, we're in trouble. The dragoon has an incoming fighter on it's tail and so do we. I'll take care of the fighter on us, you protect the dragoon.
Shard nodded. it was a strange gesture since the person he was nodding to was no where near him. His feet locked together and the jet boosters on his shoulders swung back. The boosters in his feet and shoulders fired and he took off like a rocket into the sky. His arms swung up to streamline his front and the wings in his back snapped out to provide lift.
He achieved Mach One and the sonic boom shook the homes below as he broke the sound barrier. He rocketed up towards the Dragoon and saw the fighter approaching from under it. He was focused now, all his attention being on the droid fighter. It's strange shape was alien to him but it's intent was clear. Shards smaller size, greater lift and more streamlined shape allowed him to exceed the droids speed and overtake it. As he gained altitude he kept his focus on the droid fighter.
* * *
Zordon was similarly focused. The fighter coming up behind the Command Center probably thought it had a high probability of success given that the Diplomatic Barge was devoid of any weapons. It could not factor the Jedi Master into it's equations.
Having worked with Shard for so long, Zordon had developed a keen sense for the effects electronics have on the force. He could feel the droid fighter in his minds eye, the energy in it pulsing from system to system.
Zordon reached out with his mind and clasped the fighter in a fist made out of nothing but air. With the force, he exerted pressure on the craft increasing it slowly over time as the vessel got closer. As soon as the fighter got within weapons range Zordon could feel the change of energy as it's weapons began to charge for attack. In one sudden burst Zordon crushed the fighter. His slow build up had ensured he had a good grip on it. After that all it took was the will power to smash the fighter into a twisted mass. It's engine exploded and the whole thing turned into a shower of bits and pieces that would rain down on the desert below.
* * *
Shard took a more direct approach. After climbing higher than his fighter by a few hundred meters, he transformed back into human form. As he began to fall, he used his boosters to adjust his decent so that when he met the fighter coming up, he landed on it's bow, feet first. Now, droid starfighters probably don't get surprised, seeing as how their droids and all. But if they could, this one probably would have shat it's pants.
Shard's left arm transformed into it's sonic cannon and he aimed it down at the fighter, blasting it's bow twice with the weapon. It's forward sensor array crumbled under the attack. Sparks flew from the ship and it veered away trying to shake Shard off of it. Shard leaped from his position on the bow and drew his bulldog firing it into the side of the fighter as he fell away from it.
The rockets detonated against the fighters side and black smoke began to pour from it as it fell back towards the ground, now without main power. If Shard could smile, he would have. As it was though he could only be elated at his victory. He transformed back into jet mode and sped towards the Command Center.
* * *
Zordon headed down to the cargo hatch and used the force to press the large red button. The rear ramp to the ship began to lower and shard flew in through the gap, grasping onto the floor of the cargo deck. With another telekinetic push of a button the ramp began to raise. Zordon rose up some in his tank and addressed his student. Your late.
Shard stayed on the floor of the cargo bay, sprawled out. "You know me master, I'd be late to my own cremation."
Zordon's mass began to pulse and quiver in his species approximation of a chuckle. Shard stood up and the pair of Jedi headed towards the cockpit. The Command Center made the jump to hyperspace not long after the Hellion did.
